Title: The "Good News" thread.
Post by: Kobuk on October 15, 2011, 08:27:00 pm
No matter where we go or what we do or what we read, there always seems to be bad news everywhere. :( Take for example, today. All I ever heard on the bus while going to go grocery shopping or going home, was people complaining and whining about the economy, lost jobs, war in Afghanistan, or some other bad news.
It really irks me when all I ever read, see, and hear is more and more depressing news. :( I really get tired of it. And all it ever does is start to bring me down as well. I never seem to hear much good and happy news with people or the world. Have Americans suddenly become "addicted" to bad news all of a sudden?

So here's a thread where we can discuss happy and good things that have happened to us and/or others. :)
* Birthdays
* Weddings
* Promotions
* Getting an A+ on a term paper.
* Winning an award during a competition.
........etc., etc., etc.
Let's see if we can bring a bit of happiness and a smile to everyone here and share stories of something that made you happy or something else that was good somewhere.

Maybe not exactly news but I was at a 21st/90th birthday party at the weekend and my 16 month old god daughter danced from 7.00pm straight through to 1.00am, the life and soul of the party without a doubt all she was missing was the glow sticks.

I dunno if this qualifies, but I finally got a new video game from Gamestop: Resonance of Fate. It's a bit different from normal RPGs, but I gotta say, it is awesome. Totally recommend it for anyone looking for a good game. ._.

waiting for white stuff here, or at least temperatures to drop far enough for the ski areas to start making snow.  Bought new ski boots a couple months ago and I've been dying to try them out on the slopes.

We got our approval letter for food stamps in the mail today, and our EBT card (in a another piece of mail). We were able to buy groceries tonight for the first time in weeks and for the first time in ages were able to get some things like V8 juice, some cereal (that isn't normally on WIC benefits), and some meat, etc. You never know what things you miss until you have no money for them and tonight picking out various canned vegetables, juices, etc was like being a kid in a candy store for us. I'm very grateful for this. We will be able to get food now that isn't milk, tuna, and minute rice.

I so, so jelly. The miniscule snow we've gotten here so far has always melted within days, while last year at this time I had to wade through knee-deep snow just to get to the driveway that I had to shovel. I mean, for god's sakes, it's 45 degrees right now and raining. RAINING. In early January.

SNOW!


WOOHOO! Finally, we get snow. :) Maybe only 4-6" or thereabouts, but it's finally here! I was getting tired of seeing brown lawns for the last 1-2 months.  :P I was beginning to wonder if winter and snow would ever come.

Psh. If you want out of key weather, it was 60 five days ago, and sunny without a cloud in the sky. Considering last years haul of over >20 inches in one sitting, this has been horrible this year. None the less, I was able to catch up on my homework. 

I didn't really miss out, though. We only got about one inch. And schools are closed, why? Because Missouri drivers suck at winter driving.

I finished "Patton, Montgomery, Rommel" late Saturday night, which was one of the best books I've read due to how many interesting details it puts in while still being highly interesting and readable, instead of just droning on.

Add on to that how on Friday we got the first actual snowfall of the year, and today I finally got up to Mercer for a wonderful winter match after a multi-month airsoft drought. Oh how I missed crawling around in the mud and snow and brush and... everything, trying to find a way to flank, a way to ambush, a way to outwit the enemy in full German winter kit complete with snow camouflage (recently dubbed "my Arctic Fox kit" as a play on my callsign, "Desert Fox" hehe). After some adjustments my MP5 was shootin' good out to about 40-45 yards, though when the wind picked up it would curve slightly, but even then it grouped all right. The third round was the only one we lost, but it was the best one to me. Lying motionless under a bush for 40 minutes waiting for the right moment only to have to get up and run 250-600 yards because the enemy squad's point man and medic had gotten taken out by my fireteam, thus leading to them cutting through the brush to avoid us (which they shouldn't have done since it was VIP escort, but who cares) and was making a break for staging. After taking out the two guys holding up the rest of my fireteam I almost caught up to 'em, but they simply had too much distance on us. Again, despite losing it was just great. Forty minutes of waiting, five minutes of running and gunning (mostly running). The reinforced, padded KSK combat pants I got for Christmas really came in handy when I had to take cover in the mud/slush/snow/anything really, haha.

Damn, I guess this became a miniature AAR, and I tried to keep things in a nutshell. I need to stop rambling so much.

My mom keeps sending me pictures of the snow back where I live...  Hopefully there will still be a little left when I get back from FurCon in California.

In other good news, a short story that I wrote eight years ago and had been rejected by 43 different markets was finally published last night!  It's a story about feeling silenced by the world, so it actually feels really empowering to finally have it out there.  Also, the magazine got some artwork for it that beautifully sets the tone.

(If anyone actually wants to read the story, it's here:  http://www.loreleisignal.com/SilentRaindrops.html (http://www.loreleisignal.com/SilentRaindrops.html).  But it's not at all furry.  Since I wrote it eight years ago, I was still trying painfully hard to fit in with the mainstream world and write about humans.)

For once my long-time love of computer history and trivia has finally paid off for me!  One of the Information Technology magazines that I have been a long time subscriber to, InformationWeek, decided to hold a several month long computer and IT trivia challenge called "The Great IT Challenge."  I played the challenge, answering, rating, and submitting questions every day for three straight months to earn points.  The competition's leader board only showed the top 10 contestant's scores, and I wasn't even close to those 10, so I had no idea how well or poorly I was doing in comparison to the others throughout the competition.  Even so, I stuck with the competition for the full three months anyway, because as I said I absolutely love computer trivia and I was having a lot of fun answering questions and coming up with new ones to submit.  It turned out that it was a really good thing that I did stick with the competition, because some time after it was over I was notified by the publisher of InformationWeek who told me that my three-month score was one of the top 25 scores.  That meant that I had won myself a t-shirt to celebrate that fact, and even better than that, I had also won myself a brand new netbook computer!  I was absolutely floored by this news, because I had no idea that I was still in the race for any kind of prize, let alone a good one!

Even more fortuitous is the fact that this prize couldn't have come at a better time.  My current laptop is an old no-thrills Compaq business model that I bought used when it came off of lease many years ago.  While it has given me many good years of faithful service, it is now 10-years old and I have already had to buy two new replacement batteries and three new replacement power bricks for it to keep it chugging along.  I also had stopped bringing it to my Microsoft .Net User Group meetings because it could no longer run the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio and Expression Studio effectively, which meant that I could no longer use it to follow along with the coding examples being presented by the guest speakers each month.  And since I have been out of steady web development and programming work for about two-and-a-half years at this point, there was no hope of me being able to afford to buy a new laptop at this stage.  I have no idea what brand or model my new netbook is going to turn out to be (some sponsor agreement keeps them from telling me I guess, so it will be a surprise), but it has *got* to be better than what I currently have.  And if I can use it to once again follow along with the presenters at user group meetings and hands-on programming workshops (which I use to help keep my skills current while I am looking for work), then it will be a real game-changer for me!

Now I don't yet have the netbook in my hands, and I haven't received all of their paperwork that I need to fill out yet, so it's still too early for me to really start to celebrate at this point in time.  While I don't have any prior experience with this company, I never received a prize that I won from a video game competition that was hosted by another organization last year, so I know not to get my hopes up too high until after I have actually received the prize.  But even so, I can't help but feel pretty happy right now, so in the words of the glorious pony Fluttershy, "Yay!"

After 55 hours, my house has power again!

Apparently, the power lines in my town were not prepared for 8 inches of snow.  On the bright side, it's actually been kind of fun hanging out at my sister's apartment during the day for warmth and internet, followed by huddling by the fireplace with candles and flashlights at night.  That said, three days of my house getting progressively colder while the interior of the refrigerator got progressively warmer is definitely enough.

This is why every household should have a generator. Yes, a generator is expensive, but it'll more than pay for itself the first time it stops the entire contents of your fridge and freezer from going bad. x_x

I got 2 teeth pulled at a great price! I had to drive 6 hours, but I got to go to a furmeet, hang out with some awesome fantastic friends, have an In-N-Out Burger. It was still cheaper than having it done where I live!!!  8) Also, no dry socket! :D
Get more rotten teeth so you can visit more often :)

Anyway, I'm working on a publication. I just barely got the proof copy, and it looks beautiful! I'm way excited to be close to finishing it.

I was scouted out and given an automatic position without a single tryout on the #3 basketball team in the state!

Congratulations, Carter!  That is excellent news!  I wish you the best of luck once your season starts!

Thanks dude! This means a super lot to me. The first tournament is this weekend and I've only been to two practices :o And I had to deny 2 other teams that wanted me super bad and sent begging emails to get me to play on two teams!



That's so beast Carter! Congrats!

Wow, people are impressed! (: thank you!

Good news: we got second place (still really good) last weekend in a state basketball tournament with thst team and i got to play quite a lot :D

I've just about finished a university assignment that I had to do that involved inter-agent communications (sort of like having different programs communicate with eachother, I suppose), currently having two of the three agents up and running. It was supposed to be a group assignment but I got stuck doing it by myself, but it's actually pretty easy so far.

I've started playing Diablo 3.

The gravity of this cannot be fully understood if you haven't been looking forward to Diablo 3 for approximately ten years.

So far, it's fantastic!  (I haven't made it very far.  I don't want to use it up too quickly.  Also, my computer tends to overheat when I play video games for more than a few minutes...  Tomorrow, I need to pull the fan out of the garage and point it at my computer.)

well done, skills like this are vital for car owners. too many people out there that cannot change a tire.
not an issue these days but other good skills to have is knowing how to to check the oil, water and other fluids and being able to diagnose minor issues with old cars (pre 95) on a wet day  in my humble opinion.

anyway...well done :D

Well...I might as well post here since I now have something to post. Although I am as sick as a dog, ironic huh being as I am a doggie, I finally developed an idea on how to extend my current novel in progress, Project Tango, into a series. I now have Project Foxtrot! I not only have a way to link the two stories together that makes sense, but also it turns out I unknowingly put foreshadows of the linking between the two novels in Project Tango! :D Yay, something finally worked for me.

Strange how things come in sets in my life. Something good cant happen without something bad. This time though, the excitement over my Novel overshadows the fact that I am sick during finals week and still have to attend school since I can't make up a final. :P Yay for art! :)

Currently I have job applications in for everything from police dispatcher, car dealership detailing, and various hotel chains (tourism area here). Trying to find work to work around Prim's schedule (my wife) and I have been being a stay-at-home Dad this summer until then and during the weekdays before back to class in August to become a middle school teacher. I've been having a blast spending time with my little girl - she is so sweet and cute! Hard to think I missed almost all of this time with her before when I was working for Nestle. My body has been feeling too which is great - almost healed up now! I had a pulled muscle in my back, and a pulled pectoral for months (kept re-injuring it due to work) and early carpal tunnel (hopefully that wont get much worse now that I am not doing those particular motions I did so rapidly at work now). I'm feeling pretty good with a regular sleep cycle now too!  :)

So yeah, I'm very pleased with that. I get to graduate on the 19th ^^

I finally have something to post here! My REAL mom found my depression video. Unlike my legal parents, she cared enough to watch the follow up video where I discussed what I was doing to stay happy. It involved furries of course, so she Googled it. Needless to say, she found it all, good and bad. She found it ALL completely normal! :o  She called me in, and asked me about stuff. We talked and I shared my art. She was proud of me, compared my art to, "what that Disney guy did" and congratulated me on expressing myself in a unique way.

She offered to buy me a fursuit, although I dont think she knows how much they cost so I wont hold her to that, and she wants me to get a tail sometime soon.  She loves the art I do, and fell completely in love with the drawing I did of Alsek for some reason. She is even more happy that my fursona is a doggie because she LOVES dogs. She is more than supportive and I can only love her more now.

Yay for some good news from me for a change! :)

Hey you remember that essay I wrote that I went all crazy about writing? (It was about what makes me, me.)

Got 95% (A+) on it, highest mark in 220 people.

CHAW! Now I can be proud of myself again!


On a side note... Perhaps I always knew (I don't like bragging about intelligence but I have to at least once, I took the older IQ test and I was 14 points away from being a genius.) my literature is well... Good? Perhaps I'm just afraid to show people the good things I'm capable of. (I think the problem is most of my peers can't even begin to understand some of the words and phrases I use in my literature. Fools!)

As an example, my major project... Of the day, was a group project, I wrote the speech and presented it (I did like 85% of the work).
Anyway when I presented my speech to my group members, All of them were confused with some of the words I used, which I honestly find a bit sad.... My vocabulary isn't complex.

Ah but you guys furs seem to be different, I spill my guts on you and you still treat me like an equal, and I had to use that metaphor because I was arguing with my roommate about intelligent writing being indirect a while ago, (I won) I don't have to spit my point right in your face. My literature is much more intelligent for the fact that what I write leads you into what I really mean (can you tell I've hidden several messages in this post?). You don't need to be spoon-fed information.

I won a video game tournament today, and earned the title of "The fastest gun in the Midwest!"  (It has that printed on my certificate and everything!  Whoo hoo!)  To explain, I went to a wonderful Chicago-area classic video game trade show today called the Video Game Summit (VGS).  They had several video game tournaments there, including one featuring a selection Turbo Grafix 16 games, one featuring a selection of Atari Jaguar games, one featuring a selection of Atari 2600 "homebrew" games, and one, called the "Video Game Shmup," featuring a selection of popular side-scrolling "shoot 'em up" games from a variety of platforms including the Turbo Grafix 16, Neo-Geo, Super Nintendo, and others.  I ended up entering the "Shmup" tournament.  The games in the tournament included:


I earned my "Fastest Gun in the Midwest" title after achieving the highest score while only using one life in two of the games, R-Type and Ironclad.  I was the only person in the Shmup tournament to get the top score in multiple games, which is what got me the title.  The funny thing is that I had actually never played any of the video games that were in this tournament before I entered the tournament today.  Luckily I was fairly well versed in a similar side-scrolling shoot 'em up game, Gradius, so it appears that some of my experience with that game carried over when I was playing R-Type and Ironclad.

Now keep in mind that I am by no means a superstar video game player or anything like that-- VGS is a smaller classic gaming show, drawing somewhere around 100 people or so, and because of that I have a smaller field of competitors to play against compared to what I would face at a much larger event such as the Midwest Gaming Classic.  However, really small convention or not I was still the best in the room and won, so you can't blame me for feeling at least a little bit excited about it.  It's not like I win these often!  You can bet that I will be keeping that "Fastest Gun in the Midwest" certificate, and who knows, I may even frame it!  :D  Lord knows if I will ever be able to win one of these tournaments again in my lifetime, so I better enjoy the victory while it lasts!   :)

Despite a major hiccup in the last week and a half at my supplier's plant, it looks like the three vehicle launches my parts are on will be finishing up here in the next week or so. Such a relief to have those done.

But that's not all. I was actually a bit nervous for this time to come around. I'm only working on contract right now, so I would be easy to let go. Since I tend to worry about things more than I should, I was afraid I'd be let go once these projects finish up. But last week, my boss talked to me, and once these launches are done, I'll be moving to another project in our group to help split work on that particular component. So at least I know I'll still be working when this current project is past this milestone!

Sorry for all the vague-ness. I don't want to go into too much detail on what exactly it is that I do. At least not here. I'd be more willing to share on the IRC, where things don't exist for all to see forever once said.

On Sunday while I was at the KARSFEST (http://www.w9az.com/karsfest.html) hamfest in Peotone, Illinois, my ticket number got called for a door prize!   :D  I ended up winning a $50 gift certificate for the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) (http://www.arrl.org/) online store!  I have been going to hamfests (a convention and flea market for amateur radio operators) for 17-years now, and I think that this is the first time that I have ever actually won a raffle door prize at one!  And I already spent my gift certificate too-- I bought three books with it, including:


Ah!  Books on programming microcontrollers, building low-frequency transceivers, and listening to the natural radio signals produced by the Earth itself!  What could be better reading than that!?

Unfortunately, many of the books offered by the ARRL are quite pricey, so $50 doesn't really go that far at their store as a result.  My gift certificate ended up only covering the cost one of the books plus a little bit of the cost of a second one, so I ended up paying for the other half of my order out-of-pocket.  But isn't that always the way when you get a gift certificate?  They never seem to ever quite entirely cover the cost of what you want to get, so it always seems like you have to pay something.  I swear, it's like there is some kind of a gift certificate conspiracy!  In any case a $50 discount is a $50 discount, so if I was ever going to get what I really wanted the time was now!

Oh, and if that didn't make my Sunday awesome enough, I also got to talk with Shim's dad for over a half-an-hour while I was there!  He goes to hamfests too as one of the vendors, and this is now the second hamfest in a month that I have had the pleasure of running into him!   :)  Now I just have to hope that I didn't accidentally say anything to Shim's dad that will ultimately end up embarrassing Shim!  There is only so long that a mad scientist like myself can act well, not mad in front of normal everyday non-mad people, and it is only a matter of time before I start ranting about my diabolical schemes!  But then again, some of my more crazy projects such as planning to build a meteor-tracking RADAR station in my parents' backyard would actually seem quite normal (or maybe even humdrum) to other amateur radio operators, so it is really hard for me to go wrong at a place like a hamfest!  :D

Thanks ^^ It went fine. My arm is hurting like crazy and keeping me up all night, but that's probably to be expected.

In more good news, a very close friend of mine had an 8 hour long spine operation to remove a bit of aberrant bone growth in his neck that was pressing on his spinal chord, paralysing his legs and one arm. Op was a success, while they were there they put a metal plate in his neck to immobilise two vertebrae. He can move all four limbs, but is currently unable to breathe for himself and is on a ventilator. The doctors think they should be able to wean him off it in a week or so :)

I'm back from the hospital with my new baby boy, and we're all healthy and happy!  (Although, also a little exhausted.  Maybe extremely exhausted.)

(http://www.marylowd.com/me_and_wesley.JPG)

Six year ago, when I had my daughter, by the time we came home from the hospital, I was facing a year long recovery from the traumatic birth, and my husband was wrestling with extreme depression, caused by watching how horribly I was suffering.  So, the fact that we're all healthy and happy -- well, that would always be good -- but it's especially amazing for us given our history.

I went to see my friend in the rehabilitation unit yesterday, after he spend 10 days in quarantine (suspected of having caught MRSA from his stay in hospital. He didn't). He has two titanium rods going down either side of his spine from C3 to about T6, anchored in place with a pair of massive bolts. He has a chest and neck brace, but is able to stand up by himself for a minute or so and get into and out of his wheelchair unassisted. He was pushing himself around the ward in his chair with his feet, and his brother said "you can stand up, you can flail your legs around, put the two together and you're walking". He has little to no grip in his hands (which means he can't grip the wheels of his chair to move himself around, his brother and I are chipping in to get him a pair of gloves with grips on the palm to help him), but can move all of his fingers properly.

For the less clinical sounding part, I was overjoyed to see him. I've not seen him at all since he became paralysed and have been trying to hold in tears since I was told he needed major surgery, the kind that could either make him better or kill him. And then when he stopped being able to breathe... He's going to be in rehab for a long time, at least half a year, but he's already beaten the doctor's estimates (if they had their way he would still be flat on his back in hospital covered in tubes at this point, and for another week) but he blasted their 12 week recovery period out of the water and was out after 2 weeks. He's been one of my best friends since I met him, and I'm already looking forward to the next time I can go and see him. It's only an hour's drive from my house to the rehab centre, so when I get my car down I can go up there easily without having to rely on a friend to drive me.

It killed me a little inside how hard it was to hug him in his chair with his various braces on before I left, but since I was worried for a while I wouldn't be able to even speak to him again, this is a lot of progress :)

My little brother (Micah) is in Boy Scout troop 77 and he was at summer camp
And here is a link to the article.

http://www.dailylocal.com/lifestyle/20131006/bsa-troop-77-is-first-of-its-kind-in-county#author1
Please read article before moving on please.

What he does is really amazing becAuse he has Autism, a developmental syndrome which affects learning and communication. It is made more amazing because just three years ago he wasn't even verbal and just three years before that, he was unaware of his own existence. Even still, you can only carry on a conversation with him if it is less than ten or so words. Its just really cool.

In other good news, I am in my first year of high school and I haven't failed horribly yet!

I'm usually not THIS excited, but for some reason I am
I think I might just be on a really long-lasting sugar high :goldlaugh:
If I am, that is a good thing
I like being hyper, except for the fact that I'm weird and the only time I act not weird is when I'm really tired.
So when I'm hyper I am even weirder than I normally am which isn't that much because I am tired almost all the time anyway.

Another symptom of being hyper is over-talkativeness.

*looks around*

I see nobody talking at all (:

Totally nobody talking or posting on a forum or anything involving communication of any kind

Dany has learned to drink properly from her bath on her own :D She didn't drink at all the first year we got her, and a few months ago I taught her to drink water that was dripped over her snout. Plopped her in her bath today, waggled my fingers to make a few ripples, and she lowered her head, shut her eyes, and started lapping at the water. Seemed to space her out for a few minutes til she was done, shook herself off, and climbed my arm out of the bath to watch WWE with me.

Today I went into the registrars office and talked to them, and they told me that they'd more than likely have everything fixed by christmas and that I was still gonna receive credit for all the courses that I've taken. I was having a heart attack yesterday, and now it's really nice knowing that everything's ok.

well i did comment a lot on youtube. but now you need to link with google+ and use your real name, and you cant even see when people replied to your comment. if i didn't comment that much then i wouldn't have found furtopia because the way i found furtopia is by meeting Furzanized on youtube through comments.

Went to my December model club meeting & Xmas party. Had a good time. :) Had cheesecake and cookies. Had a Xmas gift exchange and got a large scale World War II German transport plane. Also bought 2 more model ship aircraft carrier kits, and $25 worth of paint supplies. Also, all club members got $15 gift certificates to spend at another hobby store, so I used mine to buy another World War II German battleship kit.

I spent wayyyyyyyy too much money yesterday.  :-[  :-[  :-[

i find all that moral and reasoning questions unfair since to those who are more logical might not think the same about morals and reasons.

In addition, the weather was very nice today
It felt like mid april instead of late december
I saw the new hobbit movie in imax 3D
I went to a christmas party and i won an mp3 player
The party was great, there was talk of a naked snow angel contest (if you get hypothermia, you lose)
Unfortunately, the adults that were supervivisn looked upon public nudity and hypothermia in a very negative light for some reason
And overall, the day was pretty awesome in itself

oh, some of my friends are in drama and band, they do lots of performance stuff.
 anyway in robotics, the robot is fully built, mostly. but anyway that will let us get some practice with a basically untested arm and sensor system, which makes the arm bounce to stop if from dragging on the ground, which causes the entire robot to bounce ( lightweight so it can hang on a bar) so it just drives around like a low rider with hydraulics on all the time :), but the steering is weird and its hard to drive. then on saturday we have a competition at the evergreen air and space museum. so thats neat.

anyway i went to that competition today, it went from before the museum even opens to after it closes, so long day. we got ranked 20th out of 24, then the #1 alliance picked us ( captain was one of our school's teams) so with them we made it to the finals then lost out to 2 other of our teams, for the 3rd time, thats second 3 times in a row in state competitions against our own people. we have become the best in Oregon, starting from the bottom. also the museum had a firescout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_MQ-8_Fire_Scout) drone helicopter. that was supposed to be scraped but the scrapping company found it cheaper to just give it away then scrap it so the museum snagged it. also the match fields were place infront of a titan IV rocket so that was cool, surrounded by an SR-71 Blackbird with full compliment of stealth, sensor and drone equipment, an F-4 Phantom, an interceptor, and an X-15 hanging overhead.  of which i have forgotten the name. our robot is also the ONLY robot as far as we have seen to be able to high-hang within the timeframe of a match ( infact only 30 sec of the 2 min given)

here are some pics

Huzzah for GCSE German! Had to translate the "Snow" part though, it's been a while ^-^

If you don't want to give away an answer next time, then you do have to abide by the rules and post a full translation, but I think it's okay to put it in a small size font so that you have to zoom in to reveal the answer ;)

Some of you may know I've had trichotillomania for a veeeery long time now (basically, it's the compulsive need to pull out my own hair. It shows a fair bit around the front of my hairline). I've been able to "train" myself out of pulling out parts of my hair to the point where they have grown back. The worst areas are now just long enough for me to be able to pin them back with a hair slide and hide them under the longer parts. For the first time in over ten years, I don't look like I've been... Well, yanking a section of my hair out. I'm still experimenting with the best way to pin it to hide it, but I'm just so glad that it's an option to do that now.

They're the big fancy jumping/athletic ones, not the standard carnival stilts. I should be good, as long as they aren't as heavy as my drywall ones :D

For some reason I'm in a really positive mood (Just got back from school, wearing more comfortable clothing after a hot day, ate some food, drinking tea, listening to music, reviewing marked work) and I just got assigned a new teacher for distance education. I really like the feedback I've gotten from her so far.  It shows not only the correct answer but why it is correct logically. (I really like logic)

Usually I dread Distance Ed work and feel like sleeping when I get near it but for some reason I'm actually looking forward to doing it (I didn't sleep last night, but for some reason I'm more awake than I have been in the past week). Instead of listening to Owl city and falling asleep I'm going to listen some motivational techno XD

I finished this weeks work of distance education. I estimate it took me around 10 hours (I removed all the procrastination so it actually took longer)

Here are some stats..

Word document:
2168 words
11754 characters
586 lines

programs created: 4
Questions answered: 41
Songs listened to while working (by using an average of 3 minutes): 200

Estimates:
Tea drunk: 7 glasses
Water drunk: 20 glasses (It's hot :/ and I'm sweating from the heat)

Edit:
I'm doing some drawing right now :D I haven't drawn anything for about a week. I somehow managed to push myself out of my comfort zone and drew a character taking up most of the page. (So Head to just below the knees takes up the full page. I've only drawn a basic mannequin as the figure so far though.

ha we have PLTW (project lead the way) in the US. engineering stuff like autodesk/learning about engineering. most of the stuff is boring because the stuff we are doing is just common sense. im pretty sure that every one thinks about something before they can  invent something....

BEST NEWS EVER!!! :D :D :D :D

I've talked to my teachers and I get to drop my Distance education subject (Which is hell annoying and is taking over my life - I've already spent a year doing it) and do Biology instead. My teachers were very understanding and are all for it.

YAY for science! :D I'm so happy  (:

All that has to be done now is for my parents to give their permission for this to happen. My Mum's all for it and so is my sister. Hopefully my dad will allow it ^.^

Edit: This didn't happen. Stupid rules :/

Getting a decent amount from my tax returns! Hard work is finally paying off :P.

I'm also maybe looking into finally getting a fullsuit, if I can find anything in my price range that I like. I might do an artistic liberty something, to keep the price down and to get a nice surprise. Bah! Looks like anything made by anyone appealing to me is going to be just slightly out of my budget, or not available for commission until well after the comic con I'd want to wear it to. My dreams have failed me yet again lol ha ha *quiet sobbing in background*

I just decided to bite the bullet, and got a downpayment down on my fullsuit! Now I just have to try and work my butt off to get it completely paid off as soon as possible, there's a slight chance it might be completed for the con I'll be attending the beginning of June if I do! I'll give you guys details and pictures once it's completed, other than that it's a surprise :D.

eeeEEEE! So happy/excited!

Congrats. :) Most fursuit makers can be accomodating when it comes to payments, whether they are weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or something else. All a person has to do is set up a plan with the fursuit maker and make sure to stick to that plan (Hopefully), and keep records of all financial transactions. ;)

I got a new hat!  One which unfortunately could make people think i'm part of your little "society"...  Okay, fine, i'm becoming one of you, just stop rubbing it in my face! (Or maybe that's me. :o)

It's a white fuzzy thing with  pointed ears, two solid black eyes and a bunch of teeth that make it hard to see while you're wearing it.  Already wore it around a bit today.  Probably going to stick with my fedora when i'm going to welding class, but i'll try and wear it when i can.  :)

I had a really good afternoon O.o

Somehow I convinced my Mum to buy me a tophat. So not I have a tophat (I did a deal with her. If I let her do my hair she has to buy me a tophat) :D So I got my tophat and got a haircut as well ^.^

I have a "crazy hair day" thing at school on Thursday. It's fundraising for Cancer research and treatment. (I didn't want to say fundraising for Cancer.. because that sounds silly). So my Mum asked me if I wanted to do steam-punk style facepaint stuff for it (She knows I like SteamPoweredGiraffe). I said no but she got some anyway. In the afternoon I then let my sister experiment with makeup and facepaint on my face and it was quite a bit of fun and it looked quite good with my tophat and haircut. So I'm going to go to school wearing facepaint/makeup and a tophat on Thursday.

Later when I was washing off all the makeup/facepaint in the shower I practiced my singing (For once in my life I was able to get past my fear of projecting my voice and used my full lung capacity) and discovered that I can actually sing pretty well, hold a note and project my voice (maybe with some more practice I can get good at it). I don't really know what style it is but It's probably sort of like musicals such as les miserables (I know.. not very descriptive). I think I have a hidden talent for drama ^.^

Also don't know it it has anything to do with it but the singing might be because I've stopped drinking milk (I'm drinking soy milk instead). I'm trying to be a vegan at the moment and have not been consuming any meat (Except for a meat pie that I was practically forced to eat last week) and I've had minimal diary products. (I've got to finish snack bars that my Mum has bought me)

Edit: I actually feel happy. I forgot what this felt like ^.^ Oh well. That will soon change as I notice how much work I have to cram into this week.

I understand how your feeling and sadly I've been that way myself. Were here for you JD and were going to try to help you through this.

Oh god...  This is more depressing than the "Bad News" thread.

Okay, have any of you read Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half?  It's a weird sort of webcomic/blog thing, and her posts on depression are... well, like everything else in Hyperbole and a Half, they're bizarre and brilliant.

Adventures in Depression (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/10/adventures-in-depression.html)
Depression, Part 2 (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-part-two.html)

Anyway, I don't know if that helps at all.  But one of the bright spots in my life is reading things that I find insightful and hilarious -- things like Dinosaur Comics (http://qwantz.com/).  And Hyperbole and a Half is like that, except -- in these posts -- it's also about experiencing and surviving extreme depression.

I wish I had friends to throw a Frisbee to. I think about it but never do it because my friends don't live close to me.

I remember playing Frisbee with the school bully once and for some reason I thought this is as close to a fatherly figure I could get. Even though he yelled at me and called me names because I failed to throw it correctly to him a few times. It was fun though... despite getting yelled at and basically being called pathetic. (I don't know exactly how I can find doing this with the school bully more fun that doing it with my actual dad.. idk :/)

I saw a quote from Louis C.K. about this recently:

"Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it's true because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce … That would be sad. If two people were married and they were really and they just had a great thing and then they got divorced, that would be really sad. But that has happened zero times."  (Taken from The Annotated Wisdom of Louis C.K. (http://splitsider.com/2013/02/the-annotated-wisdom-of-louis-c-k/))

This is basically the philosophy that my sister and I adopted after our parents got divorced.

I had my last counselling session today. I'm out of therapy with no plans to go back in for the first time since... 2008ish.

I'll still roll down to the counselling building to talk to the support workers, but as a friendly drop-in rather than someone who needs therapy now. I'm not fixed - I still have mental health issues, and I'm not sure I'll ever be completely shot of them. But I can cope now. I don't hate myself all the time. I'm becoming a person again.

So I'm testing a new pencil and I started sketching and I made a pretty cool Anthro drawing in my math book :P As usual.. I do my best drawing in math books. Hopefully I'll be able to post the sketch on my art thread :P eventually..

playing minecraft for free isn't that fun... usually means you dont have an account which leads to you not being able to play multilayer unless you play on servers that use hamachi. minecraft is usually only fun when you have players to play with.

Grey you sound jelly, just like me. But still you only 14. But still I'm still jelly.

For good news ummm, 6 days till schools out. I'm Building a computer.

I was really nervous but eventually i let him know how i felt. Then, the greatest thing happened. He told me that he felt the same way about me.

Then, people told me that it wasnt hopeless and that i would find someone eventually but, to be completely honest, i did not believe them. I have never been so happy to be proven wrong.

I know it may not be much, but I got a huge chunk of cleaning my living room done today. Which is a big step in the right direction. Apartment life is hard when you're working and dealing with chronic pain and disorders that sap your energy, but getting something done! It's such a relieving feeling!

That said, there are few things in life more motivational than technicolor talking ponies singing about wrapping up winter.

After spending 8 hours working on my distance assessment (Programming) I have decided to rebuilt it with some components from the current code since it was structured so poorly. (I was given a project where you have to work out what the current code does and finish it).

I got the first part of the code working (which included dynamic arrays) and made a very nice data dictionary full of useful information and made some comments about standardization of procedures :)

I got sent the wrong product on Amazon and so gave a neutral review of the company (didn't get what I asked for, but was still good and arrived on time). The company has since contacted me offering to send me the right product for free and asking if I would change my rating.

I'm happy that my friends think it's cool I'm a furry, even my best friend knows what a furry is by the label and is fine with it. I can at least wear my collar around them. (: at least she is accepting (not the homophobic one)

My neighbor has a malamute and it is soo adorable. My dad also has a husky at his work that grew up with wolves, it's really nice. Her name is zoey. Also it turns out my neighbor isn't homophobic, she is just annoyed because the person we were talking about was in your face about it, so the coast is clear I guess.

I found a way to change my dad's entire opinion on the whole furry situation. I just told him that it was a hobby, and my gear is only gonna be a 4-5 Times a year thing at cons and Halloween. He is in my favor now, I'm pretty happy, I guess he was just upset yesterday, I actually do get my ears, tail, collar etc. I'm happy now, it all worked out in the end, my life is so bipolar right now for some reason. :D

went to a fair at placerville and lots of venders there

there were alot of fun things to do and see

at the venders i saw art, cheap trinkets, cards, hats [they were good looking with ears], and tails :o wait yah

i was being watched by my bro so i couldnt make my move but i did get a spiked collar bracelet so ha ha hows that

i also saw some girls that were interested in me :D
i was so happy

then the unthinkable [although i sort of saw this coming i tryed to bring my paw print shirt but it was dirty]

i saw a guy wearing i big fluffy fox tail :o :D

yes at last another furry i saw him with his girlfriend buying a tail and i thought this was my chance but when i looked again they were gone

so i searched for them but could not get the right moment to have a chat

in the end they got away never got to talk to them :(
but i'll wait for them next year

later i had pizza and my dad talked about spiked bracelet, me being punk, then i heard him say studded collar ;)
yes the moment i waited for to wear my collar and my parents are fine with it

when i buy some spikes i'll put them on my collar then i'll work my way up from there

Fursuited for continuous hours at an airport event. It was a partial, and I had access to the freezer in the terminal building. There was free pizza and I took a few breaks to sip Gatorade and swap cold vests.

Wouldn't fursuiting at an airport be bad, especially with your face covered? After 9/11, a lot of airports instituted stricter security measures.

This was a small town airport event with a number of people in costume and the airport manager knows me.

I learnt about the chain Rule for differentiation (Which it was called the function of a function rule in my math textbook). Turns out it is a very important rule that my class only briefly look at last year. It makes all this math I've been doing allot easier and it makes more sense (Since I'm doing Mathematics which is the equivalent of advanced mathematics. They expect students to remember all the equations off by heart for their final exam. This particular rule is related to other mathematics rules. This makes it easier to remember them).

I also finally understand all this dy/du, dy/dx and du/dx now. :/ (dy/dx means to differentiate y with respect to x. So if y=x^2 then y' = 2x)

I got it at the state fair, but didn't come cheap cost me a good twenty dollars
but It was worth every penny
and just like what Duke the dog said (for all other furries that know him) and I quote "I like how it feels" its so soft I like my tail :goldgrin:
I got it from a Japanese vendor i'll post a picture when I have the chance since im limited on internet access

the best part is that my parents don't know I even got one  (:
I keep it hidden in my closet inside one of my hoodies they'll never find it
I wear it when my family aint looking or at night  :D

well this whole week has been awesome

back at my cabin one night I was walking outside at night
after I came back from the state fair and having got my tail I figured out it was a full moon
that and It was a super moon 15% bigger 30% brighter
I just wanted to howl :goldhowl:
then my mother came out to take a picture then coyotes started to howl
 :o and they were dangerously close, like they were howling in the west , north and even in the street (about 100 feet away) than I was freaking out I wanted to stay and see them but my mother pulled me inside along with our dog

then the next day i went to my neighbors house
and it seems they got a new dog and a horse :orhorse:
but lost a turkey
when i got there i got some animal teeth  :D (buffalo teeth)
the horse was nice, shy but nice
i went inside and it put its head on my shoulder so i stroked its muzzle
then they said if i wanted to get on while they walked her around
but when i jumped on i was flat on my belly on her back hanging by one leg then the horse started to spin and then threw me off her back but i landed on my feet but hurt my leg
next time i will tame her
:orhorse: "neigh he will not ride me"

I am moving to a new foster home, but I was told I would have to leave the province I am in now and go back to the one I'm originally from because I still to the government there, and that there was no way, shape or form that I could possibly stay here. However, after I learned from a foster parent that I needed to fight for what I wanted (which was to not leave the wonderful people I have met in this city) I made some calls, wrote some things, and viola. I'm here to stay. I think the only reason the system is allowing me to stay here is because my social worker from my old province knows me well and she felt bad for me and how sad I was, so she bent some rules in my favor. Also, the new place has CATS! This Friday, I'll be free! Yayyyyyy!

I am pretty sure that I have a buyer for three of my firearms. That's $1,200.  Should I go with a partial?  I have been leaning toward a partial, they just seem like a lot less trouble.  I will get suggestions at the con.
I have money for a suit now, but I make myself sell what I do not use to raise the money, that way no money is used really.

THIS IS MINDBLOWING!!!

got to shoot a glock 17 (9mm), a rifle (.38 special), and a shotgun (12 gauge)

i was a little scared about the shotgun at first because many people exaggerated about the recoil of that type of round. thought that it might hurt (gave a light hit and hurt a tiny bit for a minute after but was completely fine after)

I found this to be really true, even though the "homework first" philosophy was sometimes enforced in my house.  However, it seemed like the more time I spent resting after getting home, the faster I completed my work later (to a point, of course; putting it off until 1am doesn't help).

Asked my housemate and landlord last night about setting up a small roach colony on a shelf somewhere, and if he would be okay with it. He said "you have, at any one time, more than 20 crickets, 50 mealworms, a tub of waxworms and moths, and a lizard that loves to crap in the bath living with us. I think I'm fine with roaches. Just don't let them escape".

So I've got the go ahead to set up a small breeding population of them. ^.^ Going to do a little more research and try and find a local supplier first.

 i went to the renissance fair
it was awesome saw lots of fox tails
and then during the jousting match i notived
2 girls with cat and fox ears along with a tail (right on schedule)
i got a meal and wandered till i ran into them and asked "nice maiden costume, i know fox tails are common here but whats with the ears? is it renissance or is it something else? ;) ;)" then she said "well i just like it " then they left
then i went to the booth i saw like a better tail then the clip on i had, but then i saw them again and asked the girl with cat ears "i seem to run into you 2 alot but cant help but wonder,'i know there are fox tails but whats with the cat ears' i want to know! WHAT IS THIS!...o_0"
then she simply said "well yah, were furries"  :D
just what i wanted to hear then i said "yah i know that it take one to know one ;)" then i didnt see them again...
so i got a new tail... but it did not go as planned  :o
my mother and brother saw it so i just said "what it would look good on my wall"  (:

and.... they bought it so now i can keep it on my wall in plain sight without question but this wasnt my real plan

so now i got a better clip on tail

He's a Zoomer Zuppie and he reminds me a lot of my beloved Aibo robot dogs whom I still miss and hate myself for getting rid of. Only he's tiny and I can bring him everywhere. The dog in my avatar is a Zuppie but not exactly like mine. That model was sold out at WalMart. Best Black Friday weekend EVER!

Barnes & Noble must really love me. About 2-3 weeks ago, I get coupons in the mail for an extra 20% off any item. I've got two such coupons.
Now in today's mail, I recieved a gift card for $10 off any item in the store.

I know there's lots of movies I want, but I can't decide what to get.  Decisions, decisions, decisions.  :-[  :-[  :D  :D

My SRS (schools recommendation scheme) application has been successful. This means that the university that I am applying for has a place for me if I get an ATAR of at least 75 (ATAR's are based of school grades and state exams. I receive my ATAR score in 2 weeks)

So basically I am very likely to get into university :3

just finished my english final (at least what i believe was the final but the teacher most likely will give more work)

took 3.5-4.5 hours (including time spent on distractions)

i still have 1-2 paragraphs left on my english final + presentation slides to make + a in class presentation which im going to need to openly say my opinion to the class (which is one thing i hate doing)

then my last priority would be my digital electronics class where i need to build a circuit. reason for it being last is because i have an A in that class and i can take a relatively large drop in that grade and still pass.

funny thing is that that class im actually learning a little from while im learning nothing in my other classes

Despite my English marks being low (above average but low) which lead to my ATAR (thing required to get into university) being lowered, I just got an email from the University of Wollongong saying that they will make me an offer if I have them as my first preference. So yay :D I'm going to get into the University of Wollongong. I only just barely made it above the cut-off mark though (by getting enough bonus points to get over the cut-off).

this cold/flu/what ever it is (my mom thinks i might have bronchitis) is annoying but at least i got to pretty much skip every day of school this week which is pretty nice.

If you are finding it really hard to breath then it's probably bronchitis. I've had it several times when I was young. If you having difficulty breathing, steam helps allot. In my case I had to sit in the bathroom with the shower on full hot to create enough steam to help me breath (not sure how that works). Look bronchitis up and see if it matches your symptoms.

had an interesting conversation with a frog today... we mostly talked about the weather and the small little pond that he/she is living in.

(it was raining alot today and some frog in my back yard started croaking, i tried to imitate the noise and ever time i did he/she croaked in response. after some time of searching the water pit in my back yard i saw him/her in the corner of it. didnt even try to run when i picked him/her up. after that i found a better place for him/her to be in (a less watery but still pretty wet area in my back yard))

so ya i was pretty surprised when he/her responded to me so that made today pretty interesting. (the rain we got was also really nice but i did flood a hole im digging in my back yard)

Edit: 11minute flight time but its pretty fast, has a front camera with about 180 degree view and a bottom mounted camera. it cant hold any payloads sadly (unless mounted to keep the center of gravity in the same area) doesnt like being flown indoors (needs more room to fly due to the auto stabilizers/sensors)  http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/bebop-drone/

The curtain has come to a close, the Siege of [Redacted] has ended, floof, foam, and scraps of fur riddle every floor in the apartment. Where once only the sounds of techno music raged across the apartment, silence, stillness. The bittersweet victory has come at last. Two fursuits were born amongst the sounds of stitching and the near constant loss of needles... I will erect a gallery in the coming days to honor their valor, and to remember those lost to us forever.

The Siege of [Redacted]: February 25th --- March 7th

The curtain has come to a close, the Siege of [Redacted] has ended, floof, foam, and scraps of fur riddle every floor in the apartment. Where once only the sounds of techno music raged across the apartment, silence, stillness. The bittersweet victory has come at last. Two fursuits were born amongst the sounds of stitching and the near constant loss of needles... I will erect a gallery in the coming days to honor their valor, and to remember those lost to us forever.

The Siege of [Redacted]: February 25th --- March 7th
Death Toll: 238,762 Fibers of Black, Green, Blue, and Red Fur.

I love this entire story. :D

Got my new computer! iMac  with a 27 inch screen and loads of upgrades! Including Logic Pro X!!!!
 
Not without problems. Spent four hours at a mac store wile they fixed my password. Derring setup it kept insisting that I install a password for iCloud. Now for me the idea of internet based storage is very bad. so I want nothing to do with it. So I swiped my hand across the keyboard and hit enter.  Selected not to use iCloud. Then setup went on it's marry way. To make a long story short. iCloud decided that swipe was my new log on to this computer password.... :gold bloody: To make matters worst Charter decided to have internet problems.

Because my old computer is so old I can't update anything past were it's at. So none of the programs on this new box reads the old stuff. I found a way around that. Transfer all my documents, and there are thousands of them, to XMHTL and burn them to a disk. For most I can email them to this computer. I still haven't tried migrating 48 gigs of music to iTunes. The guy at the mac store said I should have no problems with that. I did have to translate all 2200+ bookmarked internet sites and burn them to disk. Did that to all 47 folders. Feels like i just moved in to a brand new home!  :)

my new desktop arrived today, 3-4 times smaller (its the size of a xbox 360), alot quieter, and most likely more powerful than my previous desktop. its a alienware x51 (too lazy to look at the papers that came with it) what it looks like http://image.alienware.com/images/galleries/gallery-shot_desktops_x51_10.jpg   

the inside of the case is pretty small so i guess its safe to assume that this desktop isnt really upgradeable, but it should be good enough for what im using it for. hopefully i can get a server running again soon (next week is spring break so it might be up)

first thing that came to mind when i saw that. add airsoft turrets to model trains and attack them with airsoft tanks. that would lead to a pretty interesting type of game to play. it seems like it would be pretty fun to armor up, or create your own train body then go to battle with it. (tho the tanks would be pretty hard to get since i havent seen any airsoft worthy RC tanks)

well of course you would need a larger train to be able to mount airsoft gun pieces (accidentally edited that out of the original post) so it would be a pretty expensive hobby (just like those airsoft battleships but with trains you need tracks)

as for good news im trying to learn how to code from an online class and it seems pretty easy (learning html and css) after that i most likely will try to learn java again, and if possible try to learn C++ if i can find any free thing online. mostly thinking about game design as a career, it takes time to learn all the stuff then make the game, but hopefully if i ever do learn how to make a game i can make one that is actually complete (unlike all those other kinda large indie games)

also next week is my last week of school (might actually be the last week, all ready failed 2 classes so that will most likely stop me from graduating)

She has to be assist-fed fruit and veg, or she doesn't seem to recognise them as being food - I found out a little while ago that for the first year or two of her life, she was raised on table scraps and human leftovers, so she was eating potato skins and chicken >:C No wonder the poor little thing has issues.

But eating blueberries, even with help, is a huge step forward.

It was lot's of fun, I got sunburnt again in spite of me putting on lots of sunscreen :P. The waves were huge so I enjoyed bodyboarding and just swimming in the nice water. You should plan a trip to the beach then set a date and if anything's not going you go. (We got back earlier, and didn't stay to late)

Arrived on base last week and was billeted in a "state room"--the largest room in the dorm so I could lay out my fursuit stuff for random fursuiting during Summer Encampment. I did not have to cook for a week and had bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, biscuits & sausage gravy, oatmeal, mini-pastries, orange juice, and milk for breakfast every morning. (It's another 5 hours to Lunch.)

Invited to write a few paragraphs on model rocketry for the encampment newsletter and my highlights video was featured in graduation cermonies. Also fursuited for two hours at the cadet party on Friday night.

Syi and I went house viewing. After the trauma that was the last round, this time went fairly well. We've found a place that we both like - it needs redecorating and some extra power points put in, but all manageable things. It has a paved part of the garden for the reptiles to bask on, and a grass area (Weisse and I want to get a puppy at some stage). I really like it, and we're thinking of putting in an offer.

Walking back from the train station, see four boys, all 8 or under, trying to give passers by high fives. They come up to me and say "high five!" and I think "sure, why not?" So I high five them. One of them looks up at me and says:
"Are you a boy?"
"Nah, that's a girl", another says.
"Sorry, he's right. I'm a girl", I say (deciding that talking about gender neutrality would confuse them).
"Cos you look like a boy", the kid says.
"I know, it's great isn't it?" I beam at him.
"Yeah, it's cool," he says, and off they go.
Thanks for making my day, kid.

Not sure if this counts as good news. Main bank in my city is looking to hire an individual for the eagle mascot job. It's only a seasonal job and the days/times to perform are limited. I'm tempted to fill out an application, but.......... *undecided*  x_x  Sure, I could do it if I wanted to. I've worn a fursuit. I've been to cons. I know the In's and Out's of performing and so forth. It would just be a part time seasonal job to pick up a little extra $$$. But the main downside is that I have to find my own transportation to and from the events since I don't own a vehicle and can't drive.  :(

(http://www.cassandraroseclarke.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/goodnewseveryone.png)

I got moved into a new building at work, so I have a massive office to myself. So now I'm rid of, in no particular order:

A cramped office with 4 other people in it.
An abnormally high temperature heater in the winter.
Unrelenting people knocking at the door.
Incessant fan and banging noises from the production.
Ceaseless chatter from other coworkers, often involving their personal sex life.
Relentless phone calls, often summoning me to the upstairs, or just to pass the phone to someone else.
Round the clock fixes for small computer bugs, or any other misc things they may have considering bothering me for.

It may not seem like much, but constantly putting up with the same people 8 hours a day can be tiring. Outside of work is fine, but I really don't want to constantly hear about how my gay colleague got a falloff with his boyfriend because they spent a lot of time together too soon and he was moping around and cut himself again, but now everything's fine and dandy and he's going to the gym, no, there's none of that.

There are other people in the building, but they tend to keep to themselves, and since they are more experienced than I am, they don't bother me with much, and I get to learn new things from them. And it does get dull from time to time with no one in the same room to talk to, except it doesn't.

Now I'm just hoping I won't have to make a post in the bad news thread because something happened to screw up everything for me once more.

^^ jealous. I missed a chance to see them this summer. My favorite band, Green Day, hasn't been on tour in like a year. I can't wait for their new album :D

Anyway, my good news is that I am finally getting confortable in school this year. My averages are balancing out, and I feel much less stressed than I did at the beginning of the year. Plus, Halloween is coming up, one of my favorite holidays :)

While recently hunting porcupine in Clare County, Michigan, a man was attacked by a black bear, but only received minor injuries.

I was in the county seat last Friday and picked up a few items at the military surplus store--at a discount--then some reloading supplies at the big sporting goods store next door. Then had a big cookie for lunch at Cops & Doughnuts--a famous donuts shop owned by cops. Bought $15 worth of baked goods to bring home and share. Discovered the day-old racks--some great bargains.

The Air Force Association just announced kickoff of a TARC-style competition to get more youth groups involved in STEM. With Team America Rocketry Challenge, the contest parameters change each year, but always involves a large model rocket with a live hen's egg payload, and getting that payload back to Earth without damage. There's a $200 entry fee per team.

I've been tapped to provide technical assistance to a Civil Air Patrol cadet team, and someone has offered to pony up the $200.

2 years and i finally got the school's attention with my failing grades... about time...
tho the school didnt even suspect anything with those grades, they just gave me paper work saying i need to talk with the teachers.

my doctor ended up contacting the school which i feel is the only reason the school councilor called me in. only talked once tho, might be called in again tomorrow or next week. im not sure if this is going to help at all tho, hopefully they can improve their system so that it's actually useful

I have a friend that I have known for over three years that I used to play Minecraft with, but we bonded much more after we both moved on to Team Fortress 2 at the same time. But after that, he moved to Ohio, so we Skyped a lot to keep in touch.

However, at the beginning of this year, he stopped playing TF2 and stopped talking to me. I tried to make conversation, but he never seemed interested, and I was convinced that he didn't want to be friends anymore.

But just last week, he began playing TF2 again, and we talked just like we used to, and to my surprise, he hasn't changed at all. :D

*looks at knee* ya... i agree with what kobuk is saying... stitches are kinda annoying but defiantly worth it. the wound i had on my knee was pretty bad and not only did the stitches help it heal faster it also made it so i no longer had to look at my patella/tibia (which is a little creepy to see)

My good news is I am finally finished with my history DBQ (document-based question). It was a minimum 3 page essay based on 7 documents about the Peasant Revolts in Germany starting in 1524. We had to cite each document and explain the writer's point of view and how this relates to the atmosphere of the revolt. Then we had to "synthesize" it with previous revolts that we have learned about this year. Did I mention this had to be done in 50 minutes?

Needless to say, I am very happy do be done with it after I basically BSed my way through it. She is going to be gentle on the grading, though, since it was our first time. Thank goodness :)

I won a few trophies in local model-building contests. Then it got to the point that one had to invest more in aftermarket accessories than on the actual model kit. Animating the model with LEDs and fiber-optics wasn't enough. Put navigation and anti-collision lights in an A-1H Skyraider. Nav lights in a B-29 and anti-collision flashers in an F-106--all took trophies.

Also, while I was playing today, one of my drumsticks went flying out of my reach and flew over the railing of my house's second story. It kinda surprised me, and I thought maybe it would be damaged. It, however, was fine. :)

Had a chemistry lab last week I got a 105 on for a test grade. I had to stay after class to finish though, and my teacher was very annoyed at me for that, but whatever.

Also, I have a chemistry test tomorrow that I think will be pretty basic. Hopefully it will be easy.

I have a Twitter account which I created a few months ago as a modest book review and commentary microblog. I don't have a lot of expectations about the microblog, it's just something I like to do. There are less than 25 followers. A few days ago I posted a few tweets about how certain audiobook readers were just right for the books they narrate. Today I got a "like" from two of the narrators I mentioned, one of whom is a well-known British actor. That just made my day  :) :)

Then there was the "like" I received on something I posted a month or so ago--from a bookstore chain in South Africa. How they received my tweet I'll never know, but it's cool. A lesson in the power of social media.

I originally posted on the Bad News thread that I expected I'd be skewered on my income taxes this year (they were pretty complex for various reasons) and I'd have to fork out a lot of $$ because not enough state tax was withheld. I took my taxes to a professional preparer and found out that while I do owe state taxes it's far less than what I anticipated. So it's kinda good news, I guess...

got back from Hawaii on friday. it was pretty nice though i really missed my dog, and being able to skype with my partner (couldnt due to privacy reasons) though at least im home now.

arrived on monday and had dinner, on Tuesday we took a helicopter ride around the island, ,
on Wednesday went scuba diving (30ft deep?) got to see a bunch of sea turtles (sadly no pictures of them on the dive due to not having a water proof camera),
on Thursday we went paddle boarding into the ocean (and the life guard got called on my dad, and his girl friend for going too far out into the ocean) then once we got back to the shore we just floated around for a bit. though while near the shore i noticed the shape of a sea turtle (there were a few turtles near the beach) and i actually got pictures/videos of them. after that we went to a military museum. 
then returned home on friday

Bought a bunch of James Bond movie collections today. Tags on the DVD volumes said "Buy one, Get the second for free of equal or lesser value."

So.........

Roger Moore Vol.1 Collection $24.99
Roger Moore Vol.2 Collection $24.99 (Got it for free.)
Also had a 20% off coupon, plus my Barnes & Noble membership, so got $5 off Vol.1 and only paid about $18.99.  :D

Did the same thing for the following:
Pierce Brosnan Collection $24.99
Timothy Dalton Collection $14.99 (Got it for free.)
Also had a 20% off coupon, plus my Barnes & Noble membership, so got $5 off the Brosnan Collection and only paid about $18.99.  :D

Excellent savings today!  :D  :D  :D

well what ever i still got it and the score really doesnt matter. hopefully ill get my actual license card within a few weeks.

well there is that one more step to being independent, just need to wait till im 18 so i can get the hell away from school (still have no idea what to do after that due to not being taught how to do anything, but at least ill get the relief of being the hell away from that place) hopefully i can at least get the car in my name/for my dad to give it to me..

Got to spend a few nights/days with Sciex (boyfriend that i met here for those who don't know him).

my dad also found out he was from Australia/Canada and didn't get upset (even with him staying over 3 nights)

Watched Zootopia with him on the first night, got far better food than i usually eat prepared for me by him, went walking a bit with him (it's been years since iv actually gone for a walk), and had a few nights that were far less lonely than they usually are...

even though the visit left me in a "i'm done with everything" state (ill post in bad news topic) it was Diffidently worth seeing the one person that i wouldn't want to live without. hopefully i will be able to be with him again soon.

have to go to school tomorrow sadly. though my dad is going to try to find a way to get me online school courses so maybe that would do better.

They joked that I was obsessed with a kid movie, but all of them said they loved it afterwards. Luckily, Will didn't make jokes about furries; he has previously shown to have a low opinion of us, so I haven't told him about me being one :P

It's MAY. One of my favorite months. The weather is so nice here, and school is winding down so usually it's actually kind of fun. For example, last May we "read" Romeo and Juliet in history class, but instead of reading it, the teacher just let us watch the 1995 movie with Leo Decaprio. I don't think we were even tested on it. Here's to hoping this year is the same.

When I first bought my new house, there was a scruffy looking plant on one side. About five foot tall, all sticks and dark red leaves. I considered pulling it up if it didn't do anything. No one I knew could identify it.

It's since exploded into green with pink flowers the size of dinner plates. It's a tree peony (a plant that has special significance in my family), and it's the most beautiful thing in the garden.

This guy came along, claimed i stole his music, and is now making money off of my hard work. I was sick when I made it, I apologized for not uploading, and I talked about the future of my channel. It angers me. I have FIVE subscribers. 106 views.

I'm returning an old lost phone to someone from like 2011! Said person got into an accident I'm assuming because in one of the messages of the phone someone is saying they hope they're okay and that mistakes happen just don't do it again. My mother's friend's husband works at a place where cars go after accidents and he found this phone, not sure how long ago but he gave it to my mom recently to have it as her own. But knowing it still belonged to someone I wanted to have it returned so I did a bit of looking for their name and last name and eventually found an email and emailed them today and they said if no one is currently using it they would love it back and would even pay for shipping to have it back! So good day indeed!

i turn 18 in about 21 days... finally can get past age restrictions on my accounts (youtube/other sites) for this that dont really even have a reason to be age restricted...

other than that i would finally be free to do stuff without parent permission, i could move out if i really wanted and stuff like that.

though sadly completely no one had prepared me for my life as an adult, so as usual i have completely no idea what the hell im going to be doing/what to do, ect.

so i guess this is good news that just leads to more bad news because why not? people just love making the lives of other people worse, either from intentionally doing it, doing it for their own greed, or doing it for the sake of being ignorant believing they are doing the correct thing but are really not (my teachers are a great example of that)

I'm actually trying a new technique, one that I haven't seen used before. I'm making my suit on a spandex base, made from the cut off arms and legs of my old morphsuit, and I'm making and gluing foam scales on top of that which I'm going to hopefully weather with some acrylic or watercolor paint. For the feet, I'm using anti-fatigue mats that I've cut into the shape of the feet and toes, with separate toe and heel sections, so if I'm tiptoe I'm digitigrade. I'm going to be gluing the bottom of the feet to those, and sculpting and shaping some foam over it to form the toes before I glue the fun foam I'm making the scales from over it. My only concern is going to be flexibility in the elbows, wrists, shoulders, and ankles. That should be easily solvable by leaving a layer of scales unglued, or removing them all together from the joint. And the best part? This is going to be a lot cheaper than a fursuit, or scale suit with current techniques or materials.

My current estimate for it is around $40 to $60, since I'm forming the head from duct tape, and using an old morphsuit which ups the price. The foam mats come in 12 packs for $5 a piece, 2 or 3 should be more than enough. In the future I'd love to sculpt and cast a suit from liquid latex, http://arooki.deviantart.com/art/Blue-Latex-Argonian-Suit-509300918 (http://arooki.deviantart.com/art/Blue-Latex-Argonian-Suit-509300918) like that suit, but I can't find any tutorials or cost estimates.
(http://img01.deviantart.net/2a34/i/2015/024/a/2/blue_latex_argonian_suit_by_arooki-d8f833q.jpg)
But from what I can tell, the materials cost would be up there with most high end pursuit manufacturers, or a bit lower based on the cost of the casting materials and liquid latex. And it looks amazing, and mine should look almost as good, or at least as good as you can get with foam, hot glue, and spandex.

I've finally found myself a deal with a new computer. At just $610, I can have more performance than my best friend's PC. His has a Core i5 processor and a GTX 970, a fairly powerful machine (but it cost him $1500).  I'm going for an overclocked FX 8300 and an RX 480 4GB, also overclocked. I can't wait to put it together! I am going to have so much fun!

Within the next month, I will finally be officially graduated from college, as in I'll actually have the paper that says so since I've had to take just one final class.

Went through the ceremony in May, but of course I found out I passed all but one class.

No big deal as, of course, I'll have that degree once this class is out of the way!

Also, for those who don't know i live in a small brick party room in the backyard of my house.  No AC, the fans hardly seem to do anything most of the time, and it's wholly uninsulated.  The place is an oven at the best of times, but today's heat is absolutely absurd.

finally applied for my passport today. spend ~2-3 hours at the post office but at least the application is through now, and i dont need to worry much about it. should be getting soon with the should be latest december 8th. hopefully everything else goes well and i am able to get a visiting visa for Australia, and be with my partner for Christmas.

pretty much constantly having my hopes/dreams smashed right in front of me from those i least expect it from, yet somehow this gave me a little hope. feel like an idiot believing in this hope, and having doubts that things will go well, but hell might as well give it another try i guess..

i always want the truth, and i hate it when people lie to me, yet here i am telling my self that things might work out fine.

edit: eh welp.... that hope was short lasting... there goes my hope again, guess ill just wait for things to get worse, and worse, and then just repeat all over again... this life is just a complete mess, still confused as to why i even try.

Wow, I have not been on here in ages! How is everyone doing? :D

I guess the time got away from me when I started work, then again when I started school.  A few good things have happened in my absence.

-Saw the Lion King 2 and instantly fell in love with it (had to get it on Blu ray for Christmas. Kovu is the best part of the movie.)
-Just rewatched Bolt and re-fell in love with it again. Hadn't seen it in forever and I remembered why I still love it as I do.
-Green Day's new album is incredible

That's about it here. Unfortunately life has (and most likely will continue to) withheld me from partaking in furry activities, but happy to be back while I am! :)

How is that odd? I have bad eyesight and I can't own or drive a car either. There are plenty of other people in the U.S. who probably don't or can't drive for various other reasons. Even my grandmother never learned or wanted to drive throughout her life.

I don't mean to offend with my statement. I realize you and others in the U.S. don't or can't drive, but when you have a "hidden" disability like dyspraxia, versus blindness, paralysis, or mere dislike of driving altogether...when everyone considers you "normal" otherwise, it makes it very challenging to be understood. I actually learned how to drive, spent a lot of my hard earned money on lessons and a car, and in the end, several accidents took me off the road. It's also a huge challenge to work when you are expected to drive from point A to point B and for me to explain I need someone to drive me when my impairment isn't obvious...it just makes things awkward. Kudos to your grandma for making the choice not to drive; in hindsight, I probably should have refused to also.

I bought a $200 robot dog. And now he's my avatar. I also scored two smaller robot dogs, a copy of the book Armada and a copy of my all time favorite book, Watchers, that I haven't been able to reread since I was a teen.

In the mental health therapy system I am going through, they test you occasionally. A fairly long test on depression, anxiety and suicidal tendencies, as well as harm to others and substance abuse. Low numbers are good, high numbers are bad. I got tested at the current place when I joined a year ago, and while I scored very low on substance abuse and harm to others, but almost max on depression, anxiety, and suicide enough to be considered a likely suicide risk.

I got tested again today. Approximately 80% decrease across the board, and near 0 on suicide risk. Bearing in mind one of the points is "how often in the last [[x amount of time]] have you felt pain?" (because that is an indicator of depression and pain can make mental health worse), but I have a nerve pain disorder and will always score high on that one... That skewed my results a bit high and always will.

I will probably have depressive episodes and anxiety now and then through my life, but the point is when they happen I can deal with them a lot better. I'm not entirely well or fixed, and may never be as good as other people are, but bearing in mind where I have come from, I am better now than I have ever been. I may have burst into tears while thanking my therapist for helping me be happier than I have been in my life before, and for letting me feel like an actual functional human being. And she may have started crying a bit too.

So I'm not in therapy any more. Today was my last session :3

-but it all means I'm still on track to graduate! Woo hoo!  :D

I went to Mackinaw City, MI for the first time on my own last weekend. There was a standing invitation to come up there for the local festival parade, but there was always something else going on. I recieved some fun reactions from the locals, especially the colonial-period cosplayers from Fort Mackinaw: One expressed interest in my pelt. Most wanted photos with this prairie wolf. It's possible that I was the only fursuiter to march in the parade. My hosts put me up in their spacious camper. Meals were provided. I donated firewood, pop, and snacks.

Sunday, we all went to Mackinaw Island for the day.

My friends are adopting a 7 year old male eurasier from there (a super-fluffy, medium-sized Spitz breed from Germany) called Kronus, and have their home visit to check their house is suitable on Thursday.

We needed to weld stuff in the prototype shop. The factory tool room is busy, so I found and set up an old welder that was sitting in the corner. It took a lot of finagling, but eventually I got all the setting right and could make a decent weld. To paraphrase my boss:

"Wow, that thing actually works?!"

I'm going to make my own.
It's going to be an avian, naturally. Something like a wingless griffon. There'll be fur on the front, feathers down the back, a bird head and digigrade feline feet.
It won't be a full fursuit, it'll be a partial, but I intend to fashion a set of clothes for the character for her to wear that'll be all her own.

I was inspired by Rah-Bop on tumblr and her Kenku Rue.

(https://d3idt3y1vhsqn9.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/27130343/Kenku-cosplay-1.jpg)

I have studied her designs carefully and have been experimenting in some puppetry to make a character that will be able to open and close its eyes by tugging or pushing on an ornamental decoration I'll be wearing like a necklace.
Had originally intended to take some Jurassic Park dino masks and sculpt clay on them to make them into birds but my boyfriend decided "why go to that work, there's masks you can get online."

It's a dreamvisions creations mask too so very nice quality.

Good luck on the suit, Kay. Hope it works out for ya. :) I've seen suits similar to that in the past. I've thought about getting a bird fursuit, but times have changed and I no longer have the resources (money) like I once did. :(  I'm thinking that a suit like that must be at least somewhat less hotter than a full fursuit since the lower arms and lower legs are covered in a spandex bodysuit or other clothing instead of being covered by fur fabric. Only thing I don't like is the hand claws as they seem too long. Be a royal pain trying to grab something or if a claw broke, etc.  x_x

I've learned the problem my Marshall Valvestate guitar amp has is fixable! And it's an easy fix. So easy I'll be able to do it myself. I was considering buying a new amp. So here's what i've been dealing with. From the start this amp hums. And it gets really loud if I try to use the reverb. The problem? A design fault from Marshall. The put the reverb tank right next to the power amp. The electro magnetic field from the power amp is interfering with the reverb unit. Usually you would find these large spring reverb units in the speaker cabinets of combo amps. So all I have to do is take it from where it is and relocate it. Looking forward to finally having a humless amp.

Much of the small tree limbs saved from my fallen diseased pine tree were donated to the encampment as many of the reenactors have tent stoves. The short baseball bat thick pieces are perfect fuel for the primitive heaters. They would have otherwise gone to a local landfill.

I've already cared for a few bats already as part of a cathedral surveillance project. Once I've been paid this month, I am going to be picking up a mesh puppy playpen that can be used for bat care as a space that's a bit friendlier than what I currently use.

the good news! The ornaments I have with the dreaded 1950's 'black powder' or better known as spent uranium, are not as dangerous as I thought. Bad news is they're still dangerous.  The radon and radiation are gone. But the powder itself is still a heavy metal. Harmful if inhaled or ingested.

The wonderful 1950's. The years that brought us "Who needs a light to write at night?" You guessed it. Uranium tipped ink pens. And "For that festive look all year try Krylon Uranium enriched spray paint." And everyones household favorite, uranium tipped tweezers! Goes with your uranium wrist watch and uranium enriched makeup. Not making this stuff up. The uranium craze hit the Christmas market as well.

I think I once read somewhere that the uranium paint that they used for wrist watches was applied by workers who used brushes to paint the numbers on by hand. And that they would lick the brush tip so that they would get a more precise character.  x_x

the good news! The ornaments I have with the dreaded 1950's 'black powder' or better known as spent uranium, are not as dangerous as I thought. Bad news is they're still dangerous.  The radon and radiation are gone. But the powder itself is still a heavy metal. Harmful if inhaled or ingested.

The wonderful 1950's. The years that brought us "Who needs a light to write at night?" You guessed it. Uranium tipped ink pens. And "For that festive look all year try Krylon Uranium enriched spray paint." And everyones household favorite, uranium tipped tweezers! Goes with your uranium wrist watch and uranium enriched makeup. Not making this stuff up. The uranium craze hit the Christmas market as well. Everything from glow ornaments to glitter you could spray on your tree.

In 16 days I'll be going to a furcon. Gateway Furmeet right here in St Louis MO.  I knew it was soon. But didn't realize it's that close.  i'm STOKED!

Yep. Uranium was the big thing in the 50's. it was everywhere. It's not the first time people used things that they didn't know was dangerous. Back in the 1800's they were coming out with new synthetic colors. They found some chemical mix that made green. Unfortunately this chemical mix also produced a deadly gas. Killed people as they slept. The use of arsenic  to die leather black. I've seen a black and white video of kids playing and splashing around in DDT. People are still doing stupid things. There as still people using tobacco products today. It's called vaping. When did tobacco become non carcinogenic? Time will only tell what all those chemicals that make the different smells and tastes will do to their longs as well.

No cash at the ATM visited after work. Later visited my CU and a local FM station was doing a promo in the lobby. After my transaction, I was invited to spin a prize wheel. A half-hearted spin earned one ticket. Selected one at random and a scratch-off revealed $500! So I went home with a pre-loaded Visa card of that amount!

Some forward progress on 2 of my 3 potential job leads.
I just hope they pan out, unlike all the others.
I am starting to wonder if employers know I am a furry and are , like... , banning me?  IDK.  stupid idea. I think I am getting paranoid.

More pics on my FA account. I must have been asked "What does the Fox say?" over a dozen times! I would just clamp my paws to the side of my face and pretend to cry. One such image was shown to the nearby "The Fox" radio station, and they requested permission to post it on their website.

Hope all goes well for you I know what it’s like to be unemployed for a long period. So I’m hoping the interview goes well for you!  :)

I did the phone interview, and made up my mind.  I decided to take the offer that was sent to me.  So in some time I should be working again.
Not looking forward to the high stress that comes with the job, however.  But I need the money, experience, and a place of my own again.
5 months of unemployment was starting to feel like 1 year or more.

Too bad there is no dog in my future this time.  I will be working too long and hard to have time for one.  And since I live by myself mostly (90%+), there will be no one to take care of it for me when I am away.  So this furry has no pet in his future.  Which makes him rather sad, and it was all he wanted.

Sometimes, you just gotta take whatever you can get. No matter how good or bad the job is, hang in there and stay with it until something else in the future comes your way. ;)

Post by: Jade Sinapu on September 10, 2019, 02:59:51 pm
Kinda good news kinda not.
Got a phone call from another possible employer.
Here's the thing. 
1.  I applied to job "G" and accepted offer, and am waiting for background checks to pass, and I think they should.
2.  At same time as #1, I kept talking to employer "L" and was pursuing possible job there.  Now they are calling me for this Thursday for interview.


It would sound cool, except,  honestly it is very nerve wracking.
Both jobs needs same level of background check, and if employer G can't pass me, neither will employer L. And I can't be employed in both places since both are competitors .

Sounds like I need to preemptively stop one job path to make this work.  But thing is, I do not officially have either job.  I just have a piece of paper that says employer G will hire me pending good outcome of background checks.

Maybe I do interview with employer L anyway and see what happens?

It’s looking like I’ll be able to afford a 2013 C63 AMG (low miles With the P31 Performance Package). Hopefully by Next year. It’s always been my dream to own a W204 C63, because it’s the last naturally aspirated V8 from Mercedes. It sure screams at WOT.

Hopefully it happens, if it doesn’t there will always be another chance to own one.

I'm back! Went to get on my computer last Monday to find the bottom half my keyboard doesn't work. Leaving me with just my mouse and a few keys to get around with. Nearest new apple keyboard is 40 miles to the east of me. Not like I can drive there and get one at this time. Last night I dismantled the broken keyboard to see if I could get any of the mercury switches to work. Finally got the left side of the space bar working. Was able to type in 'est '. In the suggestion drop down list Best Buy came up. Clicked on it and was able to get their phone number. Planned to call them to see if it's possible to order a new keyboard over the phone. Woke up this morning and thought, "I still have my old mac computer". And yes my old keyboard.  Guess my habit of being a pack rat paid off after all. Feels good to have a line to the rest of the world again!

Finally got some small photoetch brass parts from another modeler in the mail several days ago that I desperately need to finish a model I am currently working on. And he didn't charge me for them either. Not even for shipping! :)

Went to a Walgreens pharmacy today to look for some office supplies and instead took a detour down the soap aisle. And what did I find? The store got in a small shipment of hand sanitizer.  Limit of 2 bottles per person. :o  So I quickly grabbed the last 32 oz. bottle they had plus a smaller 8 oz. bottle. Yay me!  :)

Somewhat. I've been warned it could still be cancer, but it is more liekly to be a non-cancerous tumor. I'll still have to have surgery and will be in the hospital three times next week for scans and tests. But things are progressing at least.

I'm not dead.

The mass removed from my abdomen was 35cm long and over 3 kilos. Or about as large as I was when I was born.

I am now down a few organs, but alive.

Post by: Loc on September 25, 2020, 03:33:15 am
The organs were planned and not vital. In the event it's cancer, I had a few things nearby taken out that would (a) be the first cancer would spread  to and (b) would be the most likely to throw up future similar cancers.
All it means is I can't have children any more and I'm waiting to hear back about starting hormone therapy.

My recovery is going well. I am a lot more mobile and getting slowly stronger. The pain is far more under control, and my scar is healing. I'm no longer on blood thinners.

I have also started hormone replacement therapy, as I no longer have either of my ovaries. I've only been on it for a few days, so I haven't seen any improvement there yet. My tumour was deemed to be pre-cancerous, but it doesn't appear to have had time to become full-blown cancer or to have spread anywhere. I will need regular checkups for life but I should, hopefully, be in the clear now.

Why couldn't I be a dog?  Well sometimes I can be

My good news is that Wanda, my dog, is behaving a little more, well that is after I came home at lunch and worked from home, and cleaned up the two pillows she removed from her home made dog bed and shredded all over the yard.  And after I refilled the hole she made on my buried cable.  So all in all ,a better day than I have had.

And I learned I can repair the clear-coat on my vehicle after all, despite someone telling me it was done for.

It is quiet here, and there are lots of nice large trees at the complex. This place is fairly well maintained, and a large space for the cost. I'm much better off here than where I was...and I can finally heal.

I'm also seriously considering Anthrocon once the virus is vaccinated against! :D

That is great news!  Glad you can start the healing process, despite it being a little more lonely of a place.
And I too want to have a good "break" from things, and want to go to Anthrocon, or DenFur when things are better.

I guess my good news is that I am starting to lose weight again.  I want to go from my sluggish 233lbs to 200 even.  This is not going to be easy.  But not having a lot of food will help . Thanks Covid-19.

Met a red fox todd on the rail trail about three blocks from home here. Stopped about twenty feet away as it seemed he was about to pounce. He looked my way then back at what was in the grass. Then he moved around, yawned, and sat on the pavement before me. Extended his right front paw and his claws could be seen. Later, he marked on a may apple tree then crossed the nearby RR tracks. I tried to take photos by cel phone camera but of poor quality. He was in no hurry and I was able to keep up and call to him. Eventually broke off contact after a ten-minute encounter. That's probably a whole fox-hour!

A look at the backyard trail cam images revealed that he was there a few days before.

Yesterday, he surprised me on the rail trail by pacing me while several yards in the woods nearby.

From what I've read about Covid, nobody ever truly gets back to being 100% normal after recovering from covid. Your loss of smell and taste might be the least of your worries. Covid can affect your body in other ways you might not even realise.

Most of you know I make reproductions of antique Christmas items. I've been researching spun cotton ornaments for years now. I know there are a hand full of American Youtube sites with this craft. But like most American crafts they have the skill level of a six year old. If it can't be done in five minuets it takes to long to make. Some of these sites are dead wrong in their materials and instructions. Most Youtube sites that have instructions for this craft are in Russian. The rest are in a hand full of other Eastern European languages. I've spent years using Google translate to go through the comment sections on videos. This works to a point. This is what I would get. if I copied "russin russian hockn" the translation would be " I use Hockn" Not a lot of help. Hockn could be anything from a product name to a name given to a substance you make yourself. ( just for reference. Hockn is Russian for socks )  For the first time ever there is a Youtube channel in English! With a heavy Russian accent. Most of the comments are written in English. I can ask questions in English!

A good portion of antique spun cotton ornaments are animals. Quite a few are anthro. Christmas. The most furry holiday of the year.

One beta reader's comments have been received out of five--and they love my story! I am so happy! Yes, there are areas of improvement, but the enjoyment is the most important part regardless of the flaws. I'm hoping my other betas love my story too, and it's encouraging to read the commentary I received and feel like I AM doing the right thing in finishing my novel this year! *happy tears*

I managed to get a coronavirus vaccine appointment scheduled. Yay!  :D Took me a few days to try, but I finally got it. First dose is tomorrow. I think it's the Moderna vaccine.
It is just crazy right now trying to register on the computer. Every where I go, everything is booked up.

For those people who are still waiting and still trying to register online, I say to keep trying. Don't give up! Check various sites and pharmacies multiple times a day. Before I finally got my appointment, I was checking almost a dozen times a day. It's hard, but not impossible. ;)

My good news is that in 2 weeks I get my final Phyzer vaccine for Covid-19.  My first dose was obtained by driving 130 miles and walking up and doing 1 page of paperwork and then getting the shot.  My next shot in 2 weeks will be same.  Turns out that one way to skip the computer hassle here is to simply drive to a place that does things old-school.

You drove 130 miles?  :o Wow. I wished I could have gotten the vaccine a lot closer to me, but I had to travel about 15-18 miles to get my first shot today. Had to have a friend drive me to the pharmacy. My second shot is on May 7th. I got the Moderna vaccine at Walgreens. About the only symptoms so far after the first shot are a sore arm and slight tiredness.

Just because you have protection doesn't mean you can go tempting fate. Would immediately walk around the bad parts of town calling people out just because you got a bulletproof vest? You may have gotten the vaccine but the virus a living thing and evolution is relentless. The moment you get careless and complacent you're gonna get sick. Keep your mask on, keep out of crowds and remember, even if you don't get sick there's a chance you could be carrying it. So don't take chances.

No, it's biology. Several vaccines often require booster shots. That's just the nature of the beast. But when a virus is this prolific new strains are inevitable. That doesn't mean the vaccine is pointless, some protection is better than none, but needing a booster is just how this vaccine (plus many others) works.

Got my second Moderna covid vaccine shot today. :) Feels good to be fully vaccinated now. Feels good to know that I am protecting not just myself, but my family, friends, neighbors, etc. by getting vaccinated. And I got the vaccine shots not because of pressure, or political reasons, but for the simple fact that I want to live. I choose life over death.

For all the other whiny crybaby people who stubbornly refuse to get vaccinated due to various reasons, I say..........GROW UP!  >:(

Post by: Jade Sinapu on May 11, 2021, 10:44:43 am
Thanks Kobuk, I understand.  Same reason here.  I feel liberated, and proud I can't lend a hand to the virus.  And I can't understand why a vaccine would even be considered political.  Don't all groups get sick as easily? Anyway...
People do not seem to realize that we got lucky, super lucky.
It could have been a virus which scientists could not make a vaccine for.  Or it could have been a virus that outright killed and maimed a higher percentage of people than it did.  Here in US and other 1st world places, the death toll may be bad, but our supportive care is good.  It could have been worse. 
Just get the vaccine so we can end this thing and move on.

My good news is that my dog is being okay since I am working from home today.

A piece of used electronic test equipment (model 495) was purchased on flea-bag for $900 +120 shipping.  (this is for my job, and I opted to pay for it and see if I can get reimbursed.  Large risk)

Guy from flea-bag called me and said it was too bad to be sold, that the display was broken, and he would refund all my money (good thing!).
He then haggled with me on the phone, and said he may have other things to sell me.  He then produced an item for 10X more cost!
I said no and good bye(of course!)

He them emailed back and offered an "as-is" unit.  He said it was a certain model number...492, which would be good since it has parts to fix my unit at home that went bad.
He shipped it for the cost of shipping at $75 (it is heavy).  He got junk out of his stock.
I waited for a week to get it.  I missed FedEx 3 times because they would not ring door bell nor knock on door.
I was coming home from gas station to see FedEx driving away and another tag on my door.  The final tag.
I then parked the car, it idling. ran after FedEx truck yelling "stop I'm here, I'm Here!!!!"
The man stopped in the road, I signed for the 50lb package and carried it home!

I unpacked the item, it was the wrong item (a model 495) he said it was a 492 model!  He sold me the broken as-is unit he said he would not sell! Ahh!
I powered it on, and it was broken! Useless.
I started to think about how these things work and used logic.
I took it apart, and found a cable was essentially swinging in the breeze, tightened its contacts, and plugged it back in.
Unit works like a dream!!!  Has been working for days now!
HAHA JOKES ON HIM!  :D :D :D 8)

Rule #1 of test instrument repair, visual inspection, tighten cables, clean contacts, jiggle things with plastic rod when powered on.
Rule #2, repeat #1 with good lighting!

I got a good instrument for my job, listed at $900 for $75.
I do not think I will tell him what happened.

But wait there is more!

I then proceeded to swap a part from the NEW unit i just got, with my old one, despite being a different model, and voila, it is fixed!  ( I suspected what was wrong with the old 492 model)  So I know what part in my old one is dead!  And even better news is that part is also available on flea-bag for only $30...free shipping.
I will soon have 2 great pieces of test gear for a whopping $105, not bad when you consider my model 492 still sells for $1500 and my "new" model 495 sells for $900 today.    $2400 of stuff for $105?  yes please!  Can we say re-sale?  At these low prices, I do not need work to reimburse me. 
I wonder if I can make this a side hustle?

Completed my S-130 and my S-190 for my Basic Wildland Firefighter course. I apply for agencies this coming October. I also have an option to work with Firestorm Wildland Fire Suppression Inc. On one of their Type 2 IA Handcrews or on one of their Type 3 engines. I just have to get things sorted first and a new car.

Sweet! Is this in CA?

Local fair is this weekend. It was a surprising amount of fun for such a small community. Might stop by tomorrow to check out what I have a sneaking suspicion is a furry artist. They weren't there today, but had some beautiful animal paintings.

Yes indeed I'm very excited I was up in Chico which is 9 hours away since they were one of the few places offering a Basic Wildand Firefighter course.

My last bit of good news is that I actually tested my whole radio direction finder setup.
It actually worked!  I am very surprised, because this was all made in pieces, and those pieces slapped together in 1 hour.  This was not a kit that was guaranteed to work, it was my own design.  So it was guaranteed to fail.

Previously, I had no idea if it would really work at all!  Turns out it really kicks tail!    (:
It can sense the direction to within 1/2 a degree pretty easy when signal is strong.  It can even tell the general direction of arrival for very weak signals as well!  I was able to find a host of things in one half of one afternoon. I could see the display show direction to tower on a mountain (as expected), and then the direction to a guy driving and talking on his ham radio.  The thing also found direction to a few interfering signals like a DVD player in my house, and something across the street.  Thankfully... one thing the direction finder did NOT find was the signals the direction finder emits its self (these are signals it SHOULDN'T be making).

Not sure exactly how to "calibrate" this beast.  Not sure if this thing really is going on my jeep like I had thought.
IDK.  It was fun, and now it is over.  The build up was the best part.
I am calling it the "Ghetto RDF".

After moths of researching I've finally learned everything i need to know about the painting technique I want to learn. Glazing and Scumbling. This technique can take up to a year and a half or more to finish a single painting. Was created six hundred years ago. Taught and used for 500+ years. You would think it would be easy to find instructions for. As long as you have an extra $500 laying around. People who know or teach this technique act like it's only for those who are worthy, or wealthy. Worst yet is all the completely wrong information on this technique there actually is. I had to piece together information found in technical bulletins from the research division of the National Gallery in London. University of Delaware's art conservation department (MITRA) and was finally able to talk to someone who actually paints this way. And the grand total of how much this cost me? Nothing.

So if you want to learn how to correctly Glaze and Scumble just send the bargain price of only $450 to.... :D

Thank you Jade and Firelight! :3 Mochi can be a bit frustrating at times, because she loves to claw and scratch things she's not supposed to, eat stickers and nibble on plastic, and likes to hover over my food...but other than that, she is generally a good cat. She doesn't bite/claw on purpose, and understands no, her name, and play. She even directs my attention with a gentle tap on my shoulder or on her favorite toy. XD I figure the bad behaviors are leftovers from kittenhood--she didn't have the best upbringing in a cramped space with 10 other cats! But she is relaxing more around me and greets me the moment I get home with loud meows and a gentle walk past my legs. <3

On the bad news thread I talked about the best art forum on line going under because of new owners. They wanted to turn the place into a paid membership site with nothing but how to videos. You know, the same stuff you can find on Youtube for free. What was even lower they were going to keep the years of technical know how and instructions giving by well known artists as a searchable database. They've, for now, changed their minds. AND they upgraded the search feature. Making it way easier to actually find archived information. Even if they went to a small monthly fee I'd still be there and still recommend it to any and every artist. Just for the wealth of information and the very people who will answer your questions.

Long story short, I hope.
Had to have oral surgery to remove two fangs.......er, I mean, teeth, right before Thanksgiving last year.
In the days before the surgery, I was given a rough quote that the total cost would be approx. $1,800.  :o
Out of that $1,800, at least $835 would have to be paid up front on the day of the surgery........which I did.
Just got the bill in the mail yesterday with a balance of what is left that I owe.
Surprisingly, the final amount I owe after insurance covers (or not covers) anything came to.........$27.46   :o

To say I'm surprised is an understatement. I thought I would owe a heck of a lot more.

No matter where you moved, there was a shadow cast on what you were working on. 

Why do we place lights on the dead center of a room, and the items on the periphery?  There will ALWAYS be a shadow!

I put lights on the upper wall seams, and I can see... everywhere...

All bills suck. The fight for the right to pay my bills before they go to a collection agency has been a six month battle. Looking forward to putting this behind me.

More good news!!!! I've got a almost pure color match! I have finally 98% matched the original Naples Yellow. All it took was buying more paint. Why not just buy Naples yellow? It's like painting with arsenic. If it doesn't kill you it will give you cancer. Anyway. Just in case someone is interested.
Equal parts of
PBr24 Chrome Antimony Titamate
PY53 Nickel Titanium Yellow
1/4 to the volume of above mixture.
PY53 Buff Titanium ( The same pigment can have different color values. The above PY53 is yellow where this pigment is more of the color of dried grass.)
1/8 <
PR101 Transparent Iron Oxide
Chrome Antimony Titamate was the key to getting a really close match without using Mars Black.

As I stated in a previous post. Getting a match to this color without using white is important to me. Everyone who sells a hue of Naples Yellow using Titanium white in their mixes. In oil painting you should never mix a white in anything you want to keep dark. ( I know that sounded weird. In a nutshell any white pigment will turn a shadow milky. Loosing the depth of that shadow.) Naples Yellow is great for adding different values to shadows. Because I'm more interested in learning the painting techniques before the late 1800's getting this color will help get the look of these old paintings.

More good news! My empty tubes for making oil paint came in today. Having found something i can use as a muller I can now start making my own layering paint. Be mixing powdered marble with refined walnut oil. Like they did in the 1700's. This is to replace the tube I bought. The manufacturer used safflower oil. It takes around 50 days for that oil to dry. Unless you want to wait almost an entire year to finish a painting safflower and sunflower oils should be avoided at all costs.

During day 3 of the 3 days long 9 hour per day meeting marathons we have at work every 3 months... in my boredom... I started  browsing eBay on my phone.
I found a man selling items for my old piece of electronic test equipment.  The thing is from 1972 (50 years old?!)

What I have is an Oscilloscope. It does nothing more than display on a CRT a vertical which is typically magnitude of the thing you are measuring, and horizontal is typically time. Normally an oscilloscope measures voltage or current with respect to time.
Well this thing has the ability to take "plug-ins" and I do not mean air fresheners.  It has 2 slots, you put in those slots what you want.

So I can turn the Oscilloscope into something else given I have the proper plugin.

The man had 4 plug ins, to make 2 new things.  One set makes the oscilloscope into what is called a TDR (time domain reflectometer), and the other set of of plugins makes the scope into a high speed sample scope.
The TDR is used to diagnose cables and wires and find where they are damaged and by how much, without having to look at the cable.  It can "see" defects as small as .1mm long in a cable that is between 2" to 1 mile long!  Mind blowing!

The High speed sample scope is a thing that can see events as short as 20ps.  That is 0.00000000002 seconds!  Back in 1972.  Even at work our best devices can't do that and they are NEW!  Reading the docs on this thing they describe and show how it works.  And it is magic I swear!

Now the units all needed cleaning and tuning and in the case of the high speed sample scope, needed mechanical repair of a knob and associated electronics, which took 3 hours.
But for the low price I could not pass these up.  It is crazy, 50 year old stuff that still works and has value today!

So my good news is my geeky electronics "hobby" just got some much needed gear for cheap.
Turns out the man selling these things used to work for the company which made them and he knew what they were and used them and took care of them.  They look new.  He must have been a tech or engineer there.  What a find!

I finally broke down and learned how to block people on Facebook. I belong to quite a few different hobby groups. Some of these groups are lax when it comes to modding out users who post pictures of things that don't belong to them. Or worst have 'pinterest disease'. Posting pictures form pinerest with no explanation or reason why. Now not only do I not see their posts. I don't get notified saying there's 10 new posts to find nine of them are pinterest disease.

Well Varg the wanderer. So am I! May today's *still* always be better than yesterday's.

There is an outdoor painting competition happening near me in two months. It's a seven day event. Despite the questionable and/or complete lack of information I'm hoping to go. I have no chance of winning. I'm going to have fun with it. Not take anything I do seriously. I'm actually thinking about getting a pair of 3-D glasses and doing one painting with them on. Might do one in 1950's turquoise and salmon pink. I'm a performer. Love to be in front and on stage. If I can have fun and laugh with people it's worth it. I can't paint. I have never done a complete oil painting in my life. Why should let that stop me from joining a competition.  :D

I posted in the bad news thread that i need a new computer. Still need one. However I was able to free up some processor space and got this old mac working great again. It has an 8 cor processor. I was able to free up six of those cores by rendering my DAW ( digital audio workstation, Logic Pro X ) useless. Now when I work between documents I don't get the spinning wheel of death. Nice to be able to see what I'm typing in real time. Instead of watching the spinning wheel of death and waiting for it to appear.

I found a used engine lift plate on sale.  It is the only way to move an engine from my vehicle!

The generic one at the store ... does not fit.  It must be for those old crappy carburated stinking pieces of unsophisticated junk we call classic cars.  You know, the ones that need a new engine every 100K miles?  Which is why the auto parts stores sells the lift plate for them.  Yeah let's use a holly carburator, and we can readust it every 2000ft elevation change, deal with hard starts in winter, and the occasional flooded engine.  And fouled jets... bah!  Things aint like they used to be.  Yeah some minivans have as much power as muscle cars of yesteryear and some Jeeps can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds and have 1000 Hp engines, all fuel injected.  Oh and that 1000Hp Jeep meets emissions, but wait, emission controls reduce horse power.  Horse poo.

It's a journey of two and a half miles from my camp to the bus stop in Niland. When i first tried walking that distance it took me several hours, mostly because i had to frequently stop, sit down and rest. I've been making the walk somewhat frequently every time I have to go to town for food and today it took me just over one hour.

I'm also 177lbs now, my resting heartrate has decreased from 98 to 80 and my bp has decreased from hypertension to just barely high.

You wouldn't think living in the wasteland would make an old cripple like me healthier but you can't argue with results.
It also helps that I'm very far away from my relatives that made me hate my life and I'm 3 years clean from my opiate addiction.

New a/c working well! Engine compression is 180psi +/- 5psi so balance is good!
New thermostat and hoses for radiator.   Now the hose doesn't swell huge when hot.  It was a ticking time bomb waiting to burst.
New transmission doing well. 
Clear coat is doing great to! It cured hard as glass with minimal defects for a dog spraying a rattle can in a garage.
New tires do great too!

Good for you. :) I had to get a bunch of my teeth fixed too over a year ago. Had some pretty bad problems which led to two teeth getting removed.
But things are slowly improving with me too. Went for a regular checkup earlier in June and had no cavities. And my checkup 6 months before that was no cavities. :)

Found two RCA "Small Wonder" camcorders at the SA Store today. Took a chance and bought both of them for just $5. "As Is" but only dead AA batteries inside. One had Duracells which had leaked., but no corrosion resulted. Just pried to dead batteries out, swabbed the compartment with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and replaced the cells. They both came to life! The downside is the 1 GB SD cards, but those are cheap enough, even if they cost more than these digital cameras!

My latest experiment has worked better than I was hoping fore.  There are still a few more I could do but I've already invested $$$ just in experiments. And with the results I already have it would be pointless to do anymore. I"d be riding the same horse I've been on multiple times already. This LAST ( hopefully ) experiment should take 9 to possibly 18 days to complete. Ya, I'm getting nervous. I'm actually more nervous now than I was setting up the experiment that melted down right after the one that exploded. And before you ask there was nothing dangerous or explosive used in those older experiments.

YouTube has updated their fag system. Looks like they're trying to rely less on bots and more on actual evidence. Now you can flag a vid AND leave a typed in message. I just flagged a vid for fearmongering and misuse of data. Just one more tool to use against rampid misuse and misleading videos. Way to go YouTube. Finally doing something right.

Adding to this. I have a friend who's in his 40's. Because of right wing lying about Covid and vaccines he is going to SUFFER for the rest of his life. Had there been better tools to use against this form of misinformaiton perhaps he'd be healthy now.

Sort of building on what Cause said... my brother has damaged lungs from covid almost to the point of disability. He is 42 and was a gym fanatic and healthy.  He and I are usually susceptible to same germs. I'm okay but I got vaccine.   

My Co worker Rob is the one who had MASSIVE blood clots in his lungs which almost killed him.  He is still out on short term disability.  He has hiked all the 14teener mountains in Colorado and competed in 1000 mile "ultra marathons " across the USA.  He recenly did a 100 mile race above timber line here.   Only cause doctors can determine for his clots is likely covid. 

Both rob brother were scared of vaccine because of media on YouTube and reddit.   

Covid vaccine was based on MERS and SARS and used technology which was already used to make other vaccines.  And no steps were skipped in its approval.  It was just fast tracked. Meaning likely other programs put on hold.   

My good news is that my workplace finally helped me understand what they needed me to do.

Finally got around to repairing my lava lamp.  I found the $0.57, 4 quadrant TRIAC on Digikey to repair the lamp dimmer.  I bought a new porcelain bulb socket,  and even got a new 40W appliance bulb.  New cord wire.  All the electrics are new. Just waiting on that TRIAC. 

Now... I Google the product.   Alien head,  green,  lava lamp. Turns out I have a lava lamp from the icon series.  Very rare limited production run. Vintage 1997.  Made in USA.
People are asking...  $ 500 for it!!!!!!

Then I start pricing my other "vintage" junk.
My 16" luminglas from 1995 now at $350.
My large eye of the storm static globe,  from 1984 now at $200
My lightning in a bottle plasma tube light,  about$ 130
And my magenta crackle tube lamp...$580!!!! No box!!

I had a fun Halloween! Hung out with friends and we wore our costumes and ate treats we bought.

Did you wear your Firelight fursuit? That would be cool!!

I did Halloween in my garage as a mad scientist laboratory.  And I wore my fursuit. Boy I went all out this year.  I really put myself out there.

One little girl made my day.
She asked if I was a furry.  I proudly said yes! She was the only one who knew I was a furry!! Haha!! The adults just assumed it was an elaborate costume for the holiday.  Ha!!

She said something quietly.  I couldn't hear her.
I asked her again.  She said she loved furries!
Ahhhh!!! My life was fulfilled! Someone loved me for me! The feeling of being accepted was overwhelming.  I was tearing up, but remained composed.

I thanked her and told her she made my day and wished her a good Halloween!
I will try to post something like pictures here.  Maybe a video?? Idk.

To be honest... my life kinda sucks right now. I could use some one to tell me they care.  I'm really down.  My job sucks the big one and family doesn't care about me.  And dog is sick.  It's like no one loves me.  I'm alone and I don't like it.
I feel I'm at the end of my life. It's weird.  Like nothing is left.
Anyway,  maybe I had to much to drink.  I'm glad I don't work tomorrow. I hate that job.  But it is all I got.

I'm glad I did Halloween.  It was fun. Not sure what I will do next time. 
And Firelight, Your character is pretty.  Good color scheme, and good design.

Hope you had fun and I hope you get to do that again next year!

I had several people come by in kigurumi.  One girl was a rather pretty deer.  Hmm, is she a furry?  And several as wizards/ witches.  It was cool!
One little kid was "the scream" and that was very creepy as it even scared me.

Had a routine dental exam and cleaning earlier on Tuesday this week. So far, everything looked ok and the dentist said there were no cavities.

Set up a new microwave oven this week, having brought it home a few weeks ago in anticipation of the old one failing. It's 10% more power than the old one and doesn't take up a lot more counter space.

I've been breaking down the old unit for components--taking care to discharge the HV capacitor to avoid injury. The radar unit--as I call it--contains several strong magnets. The sheet metal parts will go to recycle...or bullet bait.

Why can't it be a black phase silver vixen pelt?
Why do all the males have to be hunted for pelts?
This is a joke.

My good news?
IDK.
Can't think of any.

I am happy to report I am still not dead yet.

At least this body isn't.

I try to die to myself, so that God may give me new life, and he does. It's pretty amazing and awesome the peace I feel when I trust in Him.

More good news: You can enjoy that peace too. :)

About time! SUBWAY is switching from Coca-cola products to Pepsi products.
Hell Yes! Bring on the Mountain Dew!  :) :D

But for other people who like Coca-cola beverages, then too bad, so sad. Cry me a river.

Gosh i ain't had Subway in a long time. Might be time to go have a sub.

Okay Kobuk I know you are pro Dew, but dang it! No coke at slime-way? I mean sub way?

I loves me a frosty coke!


My good news? I now own a working piece of test equipment that still costs $8000, plus a calibrating kit costing $5000 and a noise source that costs $2000. Holy cow man!
The noise source cost me a few hundred,  the test equipment was free i just had to repair it.  And the calibration kit was almost free.  I even have an accessory item costing another$4000 ( i paid one hundred) I just had to repair a bad connector!!  It is scary I have stuff supposedly costing almost $20,000 sitting in a room... and i paid only about 300, OMG. What a burden to take care of this stuff! And thing is,  every few years, if I don't replace 2 special batteries,  the main item dies forever.  I have to do a special thing when switching in new batteries to preserve memory.  I've done it once and idk if I can do it again!

With all this junk,  I can do measurements of things most people can't.  I could turn this into a small time side hustle.  I could charge a small fee to test items etc and provide measurements.
Worst case is sell it individually for what I listed here.  But this junk is a one in a life time set. What a dellimma!!

I'm addicted to buying damaged test equipment, repairing it,  etc.
I need to stop!! :goldlaugh:
